Trump once said of Ukrainians, “They are all corrupt, they are all terrible people.” These young Ukrainian reformers are demanding change and standing at odds with the Ukraine that Trump portrays.
From her second-story walk-up office in Kyiv’s old Perchersk neighborhood, Daria Kaleniuk has been fighting the fire-breathing dragons of Ukrainian corruption -- oligarchs and politicians and judges on the take.Kaleniuk is one of an entire new generation of Ukrainians who grew up in a freshly independent former Soviet republic that struggled to break free of Russia and to build institutions of basic governance.
They were instrumental in the Maidan Revolution of 2014, a popular revolt that led to the ouster of an unpopular, pro-Russia president and ushered in Western-leaning governments, including that of Zelensky, a TV comedian who won a landslide victory earlier this year.Sviatoslav Yurash is Ukraine’s youngest ever member of parliament.
“This new government has appealed to young people who are so idealistic, pro-West, pro-United States, pro-Europe, that I feel an emotional attachment, bond, connection to this country and these people,” Taylor testified before the congressional panel investigating Trump.The turning point for the generational shift was the Maidan Revolution that forced out President Victor Yanukovych who, along with his business associates, robbed the country of around $100 billion.
When a new, pro-Western government was elected in March 2014, Marushevka was appointed to the Odessa regional government and eventually put in charge of reforms in the Black Sea city’s notoriously corrupt ports and customs office.
